Do I need a bigger servo?
I assembled my Global Superfly a few years ago before I really knew anything ( and I'm such an expert now 
), and in it I installed a Tower Hobbies 4FM radio. My dad also has a Tower radio, so I'm not concerned about finding an instructer with a compatible radio. What does concern me is the servos I installed. There's a standard servo controlling the ailerons, but inside I have three TS-10 micro servos for the elevator, rudder, and throttle.
My question is are the micro servos powerful for the rudder and elevator? It's a small airplane -- 48" .15ci. I searched Tower's website, but couldn't find any info on those particular servos.

if the micro servos are older ones I would go with the standard size servos just to be safe,They have come out in the last year or so with micros that are pretty tough that would work but if they don't push atleast 40 inch oz. go with the bigger servos

The micro on the throttle may be ok but for a small amount of money you can put standard servoes on the rudder and the elevator for some cheap peace of mind.
